Is it possible to select a specific cipher, such as Triple-DES or
Blowfish, to use to generate a key pair?
yes,

I have a customer who can not accept our pgp public key.
They are asking for a specific cipher to be used in generating the
public key.
this sounds like there might be a 'problem' ...
there are people who 'can' use

It's hard to talk about how good it is. Cryptography is an intensively
mathematical discipline, and most people

I've read email posted in the archives, and FAQ that indicates this is
